These morons don't even know the difference between "less" and "fewer".

This implies that eating some amount of kittens is ok

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

You can have a little kitten, as a treat

There's a quote in the article, that I'm not going to take the time to copy verbatim, that highlights the problem with bullshit like this. Someone that shared the billboards did so while claiming that mainstream media was covering it up. They (MAGAts) don't care that everyone from Springfield, OH is saying that it didn't happen. They don't care that the moderator fact checked Trump about it last night. They all think it's part of some grand (replacement) conspiracy where literally anyone who refutes the bullshit is part of the deep state.

Well yeah, they just don’t give a shit. It’s sensational things that immigrants did, who cares that there’s a ton of evidence they didn’t do it.

Ackshusally, they are suggesting you eat less of the kittens you consume.
They aren’t advocating for saving the kittens, they would just like for people to waste more of the kittens they eat.

It should say "eat less kitten" if they were talking about an amount of kitten meat though :p

I can't believe it's not The Onion.

Unfortunatley, living in AZ (much like FL) makes it really hard to differentiate between real headlines and Onion headlines sometimes.

You guys never seen a Chick-fil-A billboard. That's what is being parodied here and why they use "less" instead of "fewer". I was surprised to see multiple people comment on that.

The schtick is that the cows write the advertisement saying things like "Eet mor chikin" (instead of burgers, which are cows), and it's spelled wrong because they're cows. Chick-fil-A sells mainly chicken.

I'm all for criticizing idiocy where it's due, but in this case it was likely done intentionally.

Really, this looks like self parody and maybe self harm. Anybody who's not already a True Believer is going to look at that and lose control of their vehicle laughing their ass off.

The transition to the Onion timeline is now complete

I'm not seeing any confirmation that these billboards are in fact real other than the Arizona Republican party says so

Fediverse vs Disinformation

317 readers

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
